I recently saw a comment chain about nuclear bombs, and that led me to thinking about this. Say there is a nuclear explosion in the downtown of my US city. I survive relatively fine, but obviously the main part of the city has been destroyed, while major zones extending from the center were also badly damaged. What would be a good response to (a) survive and (b) help out the recovery effort?
Tip regarding radio: 2182kHz near the coast. Those frequency is monitored by authorities globally. It’s the MF equivalent of maritime VHF ch16.
Source: I have a GOC
CB radio has really short range and there’s little likelihood that authorities would be monitoring it.
2182 kHz is long range marine radio and only good if you’re on a boat. I don’t know that anyone you talk to would care about a person on land while they’re handling their own maritime emergencies.
If someone really wants emergency radio I’d suggest ham radio or GMRS.
